B&E250B&E 250: Professional Exploration & Career Management

Course Description

Welcome to B&E 250! I look forward to an exciting semester and working with each of you as you continue your Gatton journey and identify your personal and professional goals and destinations.

B&E 250 is the second of three connected personal and professional development courses that you'll take throughout the span of your degree program. Each class guides you along the college-to-career journey, and these three courses comprise the Gatton Pro Series, or GPS.

What's the GPS?

As with any ordinary GPS, it's all about navigating a journey to a particular destination. With this GPS, you're prepared to strategically and successfully navigate your UK experience from backpack to briefcase. You'll define individual goals and gain industry insights as you translate your major choice into hire-ready opportunity.
